Evening Rounds From an Ice Cream Door to Pub Stools
An evening over drinks can stretch past midnight at the two pubs on Manhattan's Upper West and Upper East Sides. The cocktail stop operates Wednesday through Sunday, with earlier closing times than either pub.
Manhattan Drinking Rooms
Amsterdam Avenue After Midnight
Dive Bar on the Upper West Side stays open until 4:00 AM every night. Groups can bring outside food in when ordering drinks, which makes it an easy base for a long round with friends. The room gets crowded on game days, a detail to weigh before gathering a group. Entry is limited to patrons 21 and older.
The Pink Parlor Passage
UES. sits behind a hidden entrance inside an ice cream shop on Second Avenue. The bar opens Wednesday through Sunday at 5:00 PM, except Saturday at 4:00 PM. Thursday through Saturday service ends at 1:00 AM. Wednesday and Sunday closing is midnight. Mocktails are on offer alongside cocktails, so non-drinkers in the group have an order too.
Irish Drafts After Dark
Trinity Pub on East 84th Street pours Guinness and espresso martinis at the bar. Happy hour runs from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The pub stays open until 4:00 AM every night, so it works as the late last stop. Doors open at 4:00 PM on weekdays. Saturday and Sunday service starts at 3:00 PM.
